Aglaonema Red Plant

Description

Aglaonema is a low indoor light plant, which is apt to be placed close to a window. It doesn’t suit well in very cold conditions or too much light. It needs a balanced fertilizer on monthly basis. While in winters, only once in 6 weeks. Aglaonema or Chinese Evergreen needs warm temperature, slightly damp conditions to thrive and they will not fare too well in chilly areas.

Repot them once in 2 years. Use good potting soil.

Propagation of Aglaonema is hassle-free. It Propagates through the cut-off tip just like a stem tip cutting. Another method of propagation is through division but the plant needs to be older and root-bound for that to work.

Plants growing in the containers need more fertilizing than those in the ground. The more you water, the faster you flush the nutrients out of the soil.

Some of the issues faced by these plants are:

• Shedding of leaves is an indication of improper light or water requirements. Excessive light makes the leaves weak and droopy. Move your plant away from the harsh light to avoid shedding leaves.
• Chilly weather causes these grey, greasy splotches in Aglaonema plants that further begin turning yellow. Remove the injured leaves and move the plant to hot areas, such as close to the window or on the balcony.
• If you have kept your Aglaonema in excessive sunlight, the leaves are going to turn hard and dim. Reversing this is easy – just move the plant to a sheltered place.
